What is this obsession people have with Revan. Someone tell me please. Is it because you play his character, is it because he looks cool? It's that isn't it, the neat mask and dark Robe and cape. He wasn't even the strongest, by far he isn't. learn the history and you can see that. Someone answer though why he's so loved and overrated.

"Revan was power, staring at him was like staring at the heart of the force." Kreias exaggerated claims made everyone think he was god.

yes, but hes no weakling either, hes more powerful than everyone in the movies and most people throughout EU, but he doesnt know all or possess some god like power that other force users dont.hes not god by far, but hes no weakling either
No one said he was a weakling. But there's all the gamers and those people who take SPEECH as the law (e.g. what Kreia says) that keep claiming Revan is the most powerful individual that even walked the earth or something.
1 luke was nothing in the movies, so yes revans more powerful than everyone in the movies
Yet the same nothing took down Darth Vader. Was Luke at his peak in the movies? No.
And when did I ever mention anything about Revan and the movies?
And how does this prove that he's more powerful than anyone in the movies, in ANYWAY?
2 revan never walked on earth
Ever heard of expressions?
3 revan is not the most powerful sith lord
And I never asserted he was, it's the fanboys that do.

Exaggerated? No, it's coming from a reliable source, not from you. She has no reason to exaggerate. Want reasons why we think Revan is so powerful? First play KOTOR 1 and 2, finding everything you can about Revan. That's even better than the paragraphs I'm about to post.
Revan was always powerful. Even as a padawan, his teachers were sure that he would become a champion of the Force. His master Kreia said "Revan was power. Staring at him was like staring into the heart of the Force.” Revan had a lust for knowledge, seeking out every piece of information he could about the Jedi. Revan is an extremely quick learner, doing in weeks what many cannot do in years. Master Zhar even goes as far as saying his potential is unlimited.
Revan has the highest level of Battle precog, has the Will power to resist the Dark side of an entire planet that no one else (not even Kreia) could resist, controlled a star, is perhaps the greatest tactician ever, has enormously high potential, plunders all the knowledge he could from the Jedi temples, he plundered tombs, relics, artifacts, and knowledge from a planet sized Sith storehouse of knowledge, learned dozens of ways to kill or turn Jedi/Sith, fights for 6 years straight as the leader of one of the main forces in the two different wars against powerful opponents, killing Mandalore and the strongest Echani, and was considered by Kreia (Revan's mentor who could kill three Jedi council members at the same time with one use of the Force) to be the heart of the Force.
Then he loses all that power and becomes a Jedi again, he plunders Korriban, including the tombs of four very powerful dark lords, gaining their artifacts, learning from Tulak's holocron, killing two tarentateks at the same time by himself when just one could easily kill a Jedi, he killed everyone in a Sith academy that he started, he killed the best bounty hunter at that time, a Sith Lord, he killed hundreds of dark Jedi and assassin droids, defeated and killed his apprentice Darth Malak at least twice in a row, and became even stronger than he was during his first reign (first paragraph).
Then he recovers all his memories and knowledge from Malachor V, the Jedi temples, etc. increasing his power greatly from the second paragraph, before he goes to fight the ancient Sith empire single handedly.
(Your basing everything you seen and read in Kotor 1 and 2 with the movies. Kotor haddened 4,000 years ago! That's comparing warriors from different eras.) quote from General Zodiac.
Kotor happend four thousand years, and trust me they were much more powerful. If you want to fear Vader, fear the EU Vader. If just follow the movies like the majority of the population you can see that Vader didn't do many if any great things. He didn't kill Mandalore, kill his apprentice, find a factory to construct an infident factory, got around in the galaxy, and corrupt thousands. If you ask me, Vader is just Palpatines puppet.
